The 2015 Port Townsend Film Festival welcomes “special guest” Beau Bridges.

Bridges is an award-winning character actor, who has appeared in over 50 features, including “The Other Side of the Mountain,” “Max Payne” and “The Descendants.” He co-starred with his brother Jeff in “The Fabulous Baker Boys,” for which he received the Best Supporting Actor Award from the National Society of Film Critics. Bridges will be in Port Townsend during this year’s festival, which runs from Sept. 25-27.

The winner of the “Guess the Guest” contest is Wendy Chapman from Port Townsend.

In television, Bridges won three Emmys and two Golden Globes for “Without Warning: The James Brady Story,” “The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom” and “The Second Civil War.” In the last couple of years, he was seen in the CBS series “The Millers” and is about to start his third season of Showtime’s “Masters of Sex,” for which he received an Emmy nomination last year.

Bridges is an active environmentalist, inspired by his father Lloyd. He currently serves on the board of Wishtoyo, an organization that works to protect the California coastline and sacred Chumash Indian sites.

The festival expects to sell to capacity this year and is creating an eighth theater. Buy your pass early at www.ptfilmfest.com.
